Please consider joining us for a series of events to celebrate our 150th Anniversary! To see the updated list of special events, please click here.  If you would like more information about any of these events, please contact the church office.

Throughout the school year, we have highlighted our preschool artists on Sunday mornings and displayed their artwork in the lobby. Throughout the summer, we want to highlight our children and youth.

How will this work? Sign up on the SignUpGenius for a day that you will be in worship. Drop off the artwork you want to display by the Wednesday before. This will give us time to photograph it and include it in our Friday email. Then, come to church early to be announced during worship and stay after the service to talk about your artwork!

We will have just one person/family per service each Sunday. So siblings can display together or they can be on different days, if you prefer. You can just list all the kids that will be included in the comment line when you sign up.

What can be displayed? We invite you to choose 3-6 items. If they are items that we can't hang up, and would need a table, please let me know ahead of time. Please note that the art should be child appropriate and not scary. No weapons allowed. (Remember that kindergarteners often find their first fire drill scary, so use that knowledge to assess your artwork.)

If you have any questions, please reach out to Pastor Tawny or Nick Hill.

WANTED: You and your musical gifts! Each summer, we ask anyone in the church to bring their musical gifts to present special music for our anthem. Instrumentalists, singers, dancers, solos, small ensembles, large groups, all musicians are encouraged at any age and any skill level! If you need an accompanist, just let us know and we can help! Visit this link to sign up! Musicians are needed every Sunday for each service from June 22nd - August 31st. You can sign up for one or many services.

Mark your calendar: the annual CUMC Picnic is coming up on Saturday, September 6th– rain or shine! This year we’ll be celebrating our 150th anniversary, and the Bishop and the DS are scheduled to attend. We’ll be open for games as early as 3:30, and we’ll start dishing up the potluck at 5. [All potluck dishes must be dropped off in the kitchen by 4:30.] You do not want to miss this, so BE SURE TO SIGN UP! The online sign up is available here, and paper sign-ups are available in the lobby. Let’s celebrate our blessings together with food, fellowship and fun – see you there!

Volunteers for Marvin's Home will meet at 9:30 at the warehouse, located at 650 N. Cannon Avenue in Lansdale. The entrance is just before the traffic light at 7th St. Drive all the way around the back of the building and continue about halfway up the other side. You can park near Marvin's Home door.  Sign up to help here.

On Wednesday, September 17th at 1:30 PM, Christ Church will offer a one-time program known as Loss of a Spouse. Loss of a Spouse is part of the grief support resources available through GriefShare. Like GriefShare, it is open to anyone inside or outside of our church. You can register for the event at this link.

On Wednesday, October 1st, we'll begin our next 13-week GriefShare cycle. GriefShare is designed for those mourning the loss of a loved one; a spouse, a child, a parent, a close friend. Each week we'll meet from 1:30 to 3:30 PM. We will view a video, and discuss both the video and daily exercises. You will have the opportunity to share with others who are grieving, others who understand what you are going through.  

Registration fee is $20; it covers all 13 weeks, and includes your copy of the GriefShare workbook. Scholarships are available. You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each is “self-contained,” so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. You will be able to continue with GriefShare through the next 13-week cycle and view any of the videos you have not seen. Registration can be found at this link.

Our Tuesday morning short-term Bible study will be resuming in the fall! We will be meeting from 10 AM - 12 PM in fellowship hall beginning October 7th through November 11th! We will be studying Andy Stanley’s “Follow.” You can purchase this on your own, or place an order through the church office. Orders should be submitted by Sept. 16th. Please sign up at the SignUpGenius by Sept. 16th.

All women of Christ UMC as well as friends and neighbors are welcome to attend a weekend of rest and renewal at camp Gretna Glen. The retreat is a way to foster fellowship among women who desire to grow closer to God. The theme of the retreat will be From Wonderful to Woeful: Women of the Bible. Each session will focus on a different woman of the Bible and how her story might impact our faith. This year the leadership team includes: Jen Hopple, Marge Kramer, Jeanmarie Loss, Pam Nicholson, Diana Ricci, and Pastor Tawny. We always appreciate extra help, so if you are interested in assisting with a small piece of the retreat, please reach out to let us know!

The retreat will be held at Gretna Glen Camp & Retreat Center from the evening of Friday, November 7th through lunch on Sunday, November 9th. Visit this page for more info (including a schedule) and to register!

The 14^th Annual Men’s Retreat will be held at Camp Innabah for a 4-part program inspired by Adam Hamilton’s Revival: Faith as Wesley Lived It. Phil Newcomer–attorney, life-long Methodist, preacher’s kid, Christ Servant Minister, and member of Jarrettown UMC (where his wife, Dorry, serves as the pastor!)–will be leading the weekend for all to learn how the example of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, can ignite a new flame of faith within all.

Prices: $155 (2 Nights/5 Meals), $135 (1 Night/3 Meals), or $75 (Sat. Day/2 Meals)
